Product details

That's the number your arc-flash study and SCCR label care about. For DC circuits, it's rated 15 kA at 60 V (max 72 V), so it works in control-power or battery-backed bus applications.

IP20 with connected conductors — fine inside a sealed enclosure, not for washdown zones. The -40 °C to 75 °C operating range covers unheated warehouses and hot cabinet summers.

Listed under IEC/EN 60898-1 for household-type overcurrent protection and IEC/EN 60947-2 for industrial circuit-breaker duty, plus UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235 for North American supplementary protection (5 kA at AC). Overvoltage category III and energy limitation class 3. Neutral conductor is switched, which is expected for a 4-pole breaker but worth confirming if you're replacing a 3-pole unit with a solid neutral. The lifecycle status is current — no end-of-life notice, no successor announced. This is a standard catalog line, not a phase-out risk for your BOM.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 5SY4606-7 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.

What's the difference between 5SY4606-7 and 5SY4304-7CV?

The 5SY4304-7CV is a 4-pole B-curve MCB, while the 5SY4606-7 is a C-curve. The C-curve trips between 5 and 10 times rated current, suited for motor and transformer inrush; the B-curve trips at 3 to 5 times, better for resistive or general-purpose loads. Both share the same 4-module DIN footprint and 10 kA/35 kA breaking capacities, so a swap between them is mechanically drop-in but changes the trip coordination.

Will 5SY4606-7 drop into a panel specified around 5SY4304-7CV without rewiring?

Yes, the mechanical footprint is identical — both are 4-module-width (72 mm) SENTRON MCBs with the same DIN-rail mounting, terminal layout, and supply-position flexibility. No rewiring needed. The only difference is the trip curve (C vs B), which affects coordination with downstream loads and upstream breakers.
